Chivas Royal Salute? Maybe a Kings Ransom? Perhaps a single malt?

Expensive taste boys - I'll stick to the beer I reckon

Stay tuned ...

This was no April fool!!

I was also on the boat, the Yellowfin is approx 70kgs caught on 130lb Shimano Tiagra, the following day we caught 11 tuna and 2 blue marlin and 2 dorado, the tuna ranged from 55kg - 70 kg and the marlin were approx 150kg and 250 kg on 80lb Shimano's.

I guess someone owes!!

weel I guess that makes it final

Excellent fish guys and gal

for full disclosure purposes - I asked Barnzy's missus to send me some more photos, and pointed her to the thread. Barnzy was good enough to logon and post those pictures.

Thanks Mate! Hope you enjoy the site, and stick around and post some more piccies.

A bloody great fish that fin, and top shots - apparently the big blue was at the boat after dark. 250kg or more than 500lbs for us oldies.

Cheers

As the first person to question the initial picture, I'd like to offer my apologies

In my defence, it was posted on April 1, and while I now know its not, that first pic still looks photoshopped to my eyes.

Great fish guys!!!

So what do you do with that much tuna? Would one fish that size keep you going for a year?

10 years ago I was fishing off a (private) warf next to the Spit Bridge. I was hoping for a fiesty Bream and almost dropped my rod when 2 enormous shapes cruised by. At the time I didn't know wha they were - now I know they were some kind of tuna. 10 years ago but I still remember thinking in disbelief that the bigger one was just about my arm span (1.5 - 1.8 m). What the hell are fish that big doing cruising up past the Spit? Did they used to catch beasties there in the good old days?

Shame on you doubting Thomas’s, some one is always looking for reds under the bed.

Nice looking chic but she must work out.

I understand all the fish went to the local villages etc. About that long ago they were tolling 24KG and Skirted lures in the Hacking for yellowfin - all the way up south west arm
